You will get ammonia in new water...until you get sufficent levels of bacterium (Nitrosomones) build to turn that into nitrite. The "cloudy" water is actually a bacterial bloom.
You either a) need to let a little cycle happen or b) continue to use an ammonia remover like Amquel or something.
Finding an SG of 1.030 from LFS water is unusual. Typically, they keep the SG lower to ward off parasites using osmotic shock. However, ANY salt water SG can creep up if stored too long and allowed to have some level of evaporation.
